San Francisco Conference
When the representatives of the United Nations meet in San
Francisco on April 25, they will bring with them the support of their peoples, founded upon the belief that there must
be drafted there a charter for a world organization with the
power and the will to maintain world peace and security.
As we go into that conference, it is essential that we un-
dertand exactly what is its purpose. For it will not be a peace
conference. It will not deal with boundaries, or reparations,
or questions concerning- the disarmament and control of the
the Axis countries. The conference will not be concerned with
the trail and punishment of war criminals.
The United Nations Conference will have one purpose, and
only one: To prepare the charter of an international organization for presentation to the proposed member nations for
adoption. This is, however, the basic task, the foundation
stone for the structure of international cooperation. In working* toward this accomplishment, the delegates must reach
agreement upon the most effective machinery for the peaceful settlement of disputes, and at the same time how best to
employ force to settle disputes, if force should prove necessary. They must decide upon- such questions as the most effective way of stimulating international economic, social and
humanitarian cooperation, and the relationship of regional
organizations to the proposed general organization.
The Dumbarton Oaks proposals will provide a good basis
for this discussion. Nevertheless, it will be a difficult task.
The charter which will emerge from this conference will of
necessity be the result of compromise and adjustment. It
may not meet in its entirety the wishes of any one nation:
Rather, it will be a syntheses of the wishes' of all those nations concerned. But the real purpose -will have been accomplished if the San ^>anciscpjG.qnferenee creates a framewo*rj|**-
for world organization that^aji, command the support ofl
greairmajority"of 'WtWSm^^iiio believe'"hi freed'om, and one
that will be flexible •enough at the same time, to permit
changes and improvements Iri the light of future experience.
There have been doubts in the minds of some persons as to
the wisdom of establishing the world organization apart from
the settlements that will follow victory in this present war.
Mature judgment should make us realize that these doubts
are baseless. By first setting up the world organization, with
its functions separate from the peace settlement, we shall
make it possible for this international machinery to deal as
freely with threats to world peace that may later arise from
those settlements as with such threats from any other cause.
What will be accomplished at San Francisco and afterwards toward organizing the world for a truly enduring
peace will affect deeply the lives of every American citizen
and the future security and happiness of every American
home. Our success or failure in this work will depend, in the
last analysis, upon the intelligence and undersanding and the
active support of the men and women who desire above all
else that we shall not have to fight another and more terrible
war and that peace shall prevail throughout the years.
What About The Children?
"A child's sob in the silence curses deeper *
Than the strong man in his wrath."
Elizabeth Barret Bowning
There is one problem of rehabilitation which is greater
than any other. It is also the most important. It is the rehabilitation of the children of Europe.
Unless they can be rehabilitated, all the great plans for a
new and beautiful world are in vain. The danger and the
hope, the menace and the salvation of the world of tomorrow
lies m the children of today—for whatever ideals, ambitions,
and beliefs are inculcated into the hearts and minds of these
children will determine the future of the whole world. They
fa d le °neS Wh° WiU haVG the keepin2' of the Peace in the*r
■f•2iil* most serious effect of war is never on the generation
h*Alr¥ Xt but on the S'eneration following. The tension falls
naraest on them—for they, have not had the background, the
outer knowledge with which to properly evaluate happenings,
f y™. when they do not show any immediate effect, fears, in-
nioitions and hatreds can be started which may well scar
rvoung mmds permanently. Remember that Hitler's first followers were the warped children of the last war. And those
wiio faltered and hampered and hindered in other lands
were children when the guns roared before.
now are we going, to teach security to a child who has
never known peace? Who has lived in the constant presence
oi terror.' Who has seen death in its most brutal forms? Who
has known horrors from which the most hardened adults
shrink ?
How are we going to teach truth to a child who has had to
learn to he cleverly in-order to keep alive? How are we going
to restore faith to those who have watched murder go unavenged? How are we going to teach the value of law and
order to a child who has learned to- scurry in fear from those
in authority? Who has known abuse, starvation and'degradation?
"When young lips have drunk deep of the bitter waters of
Hate, Suspicion and Despair, not all the Love in the,world can
wipe away the memory, though it may turn darkened eyes
lor a while to the light, and teach Faith where no Faith was."
ko Kipling wrote at the end of a sad story of a little child.
What can we do for these children? Unless we use all the
wisdom, courage-and love^-we possess to help them, there can
be no lasting peace. This is the greatest problem. How can we
solve it?

Her Gospel of Cheer
Since the day more than 28
months ago that her own son, Jack,
went into military service, Mrs.
Harry Willaman of North Main St.
has busied herself with little tasks
that bring joy to him
And in so doing, she has gradu-
Hummels, Rovers, Smith Barber
Shop, Gross Hardware, Lewis and
Greenho, North Canton Supply, and j not only Jack, but 24 other lucky
North Canton Cleaners. /service men receive a little of the
courageous cheer that she spreads
around so gladly.
Like every other mother in the
United States, Mrs. Willaman-is
vvorried about her tall, dark son
who is as handsome as any other
man in Uncle Sam's army as far as
she is concerned. '
But she has buried that worry
underneath every little thing she
can think of to help him and a few
ol his 'buddies and friends, wherever they may be.

„nf „„i„. To^ u„t- oa „t\,r.v. i„„wl to see a boy in uniform in the
Willaman home. For friends of
Jack, home on furlough, stop by
to talk to her, and at least two of
them have made it their home
while in town.
•'Just call it the Willaman USO",
Mrs. Willaman laughingly remarked one day. "It is open to every
service man that needs a place to
stay when he is in town, regardless
of who he is." And as further evidence -of this spirit of helpfulness,
Mrs. Willaman's name is on register at the train terminal in Canton as a place where service men
may stay.
A great deal of this willingness
to help with her "little bit" dates
back to the time, about two years
ago, when Mrs. Willa.nan traveled
to the west coast to visit Jack
v-hen he was stationed there. The
conditions she saw around some of
the camps; the way some civilians
m the camp areas treated the men
in uniform; and the virtual robbery
of service men's wages by extreme
prices, made her rssolve to counteract such actions as best she-
could.
Speaking of that trip she said
"The folks here can hardly realize
what the "boys have to put up with.
Sixty cents for a shoe shine. Six
to ten dollars for a hotel room for
ons night in a room that shoudn't
cost more than than a dollar of
two. Food' prices so high the boys
almost.have to forget about eating." Words just can't describe how-
some people act toward men in uniform." *
Two North Canton boys who
made the Willaman home their
hojne while m town, and can testify to the hospitality, are Sgt. Jay
Kauffman, who recently spent a
furlough here after nearly three
years overseas, and Richard Kraus
of the Navy, who spent a few days
here recently while on leave. Another serviceman, Lt. Jack Frazier
of the air corps also stayed there
while in town.
But the fact that her home is
open at all times to servicemen is
not enough for Mrs. Willaman. For
she keeps in touch with 25 boys
and girls in service with reguar
letters, with boxes, with any little thing- she can do for them.
"Guess just about every branch
of service is represented in my address book," she admits. Some of
those are boys and girls from town
that she knew or who were friends
of Jack, who is now with Hodges
First army somewhere in Germany;
Others are fellows in Jack's unit,
or someone hs has told her about.
And she has never, seen some of
those with whom she corresponds.
One record she is especially
proud of is the 697 letters she has
written to her son in the past fourteen months. Only one day missed
in all that time. **
Right now she isn't getting as
many letters in reply because a
great many of her "boys" are engaged in heavy fighting and fast
moving. But ordinarily she averages ten letters a week. They
come from all parts of the world
—they tell of many strange and
unusual things.—In fact, they probably could make a very personalized account of the war from a
number of angles.
One of the most interesting letters she received lately was from
Jay Kauffman, now stationed at
Ft. Belvoir, Va. Jay wrote that hfe
was in the honor guard for President Roosevelt's funeral procession.
. Among her souvenirs sent to her
from- some -of the boys, she has
the first American flag that .made
a-complete trip around the world
during this war on the mast of an
American merchant marine ship.

Twelve High in County; 29
Compete With Other High
Ranking Students in State
The| report has finally, been received at North Canton high school
of the rating of seniors who took
part in the Senior Scholarship tests
held on March 10.
Carrying on the same high scholastic achievement other North Canton students have in the past,
twelve seniors placed among the
top; students in Stark county,
with Robert Ebel ranking fifth and
Ed Bierly tenth. The other students
who received honorable mention in
the county are Arthur Schneider,
Joan Broeske, Jack.Kintz, "Richard
Braucher, Peggy Capley, Inez Mc-
Doweil, Don Stover, Dick Studer,
Jack Humbert and Richard Mohler.
These twelve students placed in
the upper 20 per cent of the students throughout the state who
took the test. There were 651S
seniors in Ohio who took the examination, representing the upper
40 per cent of their own classes.
It is interesting to note that all
twelve of the students who ,plac|d.r'
so high in the test have'also beffli f
highly active in extra curricular', •
work throughout their high school r
life.
Robert Carlson Wendell Rice,
Walter Schlemmer, Doris Chelpka
and Dick Streby placed in the upper 30 per cent of the students taking- the test. Ted Leed, Rollin Reiss
upper 40 per cent and Carolyn Hassinger and Ellen Sponseller were in
the upper half. James Wolf and
Sally Hanscomb were in the upper
GO per cent; Beverly Richards, Norma Kolp and Virginia Deuble in the
70 per cent; Jeanne Peters in the
75 per cent of the students; and
Frances Senglgitner in the 90 percent of the students taking the
test.
The rating of all the students
taking the test was good, in view
of the fact that they were completing with the best high school
students throughout the state.
The first twelve students named
will receive gold medals for scholarship when the awards for the
vear are made.

were children when the guns roared before.
now are we going, to teach security to a child who has
never known peace? Who has lived in the constant presence
oi terror.' Who has seen death in its most brutal forms? Who
has known horrors from which the most hardened adults
shrink ?
How are we going to teach truth to a child who has had to
learn to he cleverly in-order to keep alive? How are we going
to restore faith to those who have watched murder go unavenged? How are we going to teach the value of law and
order to a child who has learned to- scurry in fear from those
in authority? Who has known abuse, starvation and'degradation?
"When young lips have drunk deep of the bitter waters of
Hate, Suspicion and Despair, not all the Love in the,world can
wipe away the memory, though it may turn darkened eyes
lor a while to the light, and teach Faith where no Faith was."
ko Kipling wrote at the end of a sad story of a little child.
What can we do for these children? Unless we use all the
wisdom, courage-and love^-we possess to help them, there can
be no lasting peace. This is the greatest problem. How can we
solve it?
